When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples.

Eutychus Revived at Troas
(2 Kings 4:18–37)
On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Since Paul was ready to leave the next day, he talked to them and kept on speaking until midnight. 1Co 16:2Act 2:42Jhn 20:19Jhn 20:1Act 20:11Rev 1:10Act 20:9Act 28:23
Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered. Act 1:13Luk 22:12 And a certain young man named Eutychus, seated in the window, was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell from the third story and was picked up dead. Mrk 13:36Mat 26:40-41Jon 1:5-6Mrk 9:261Ki 17:19Act 14:19 But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him. “Do not be alarmed!” he said. “He is still alive!” Jhn 11:40Mrk 5:39Jhn 11:11Mat 9:23-241Ki 17:21-222Ki 4:34-35Luk 7:13

From Troas to Miletus
We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take Paul aboard. He had arranged this because he was going there on foot. Mrk 6:46Mrk 1:35Mrk 6:31-33 And when he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene. Sailing on from there, we arrived the next day opposite Chios.

Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in the province of Asia, because he was in a hurry to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost. 4 1Co 16:8Act 2:1Act 19:21Act 20:6Act 18:19Act 18:21Act 20:13Act 20:22
